I got up around 6 am and enjoyed the bright sky with stars and a tiny moon. After I fed the horses I fed the wild birds. They were all waiting and chirping loud. They know the routine! Very cute.
When I was at the first feeder , one of the pine Grosbeaks came SO close. She was not too worried about me and when I held out my hand with some seeds , she almost landed on my hand. She changed her mind and then sat on a branch just one step away from me while chirping. Awesome! I filled the feeder and hardly stepped away to do the other feeders when a whole bunch of grosbeak and redpoll started to eat. Soon the woodpeckers, chickadees and the blue Jays were having breakfast too. It is a busy feeder. :)
My neighbor Ben cut some more trees and got me a few more loads of fire wood. Thanks Ben!
The snow plough came and I'm happy with a clean yard and driveway. The snow banks are pretty high! But they do make good bird feeders. I just climb up the snow bank and at the top I put seeds. Many feeders I used before I can't reach because of the snow banks but this works great too. :-)
